2. Fluid deprivation test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_deprivation_test

   A fluid or water deprivation test is a medical test [1] which can be used to determine whether the patient has diabetes insipidus as opposed to other causes of polydipsia (a condition of excessive thirst that causes an excessive intake of water). The patient is required, for a prolonged period, to forgo intake of water completely, to determine ...

3. Central diabetes insipidus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_diabetes_insipidus

   The water deprivation test (WDT) is a commonly used test for diabetes insipidus, a two-step process involving parenteral desmopressin administration after an initial 8-hour water fast. It differentiates primary polydipsia from diabetes insipidus and central diabetes insipidus from nephrogenic diabetes insipidus .

4. Dielectric withstand test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_withstand_test

   In electrical engineering, a dielectric withstand test (also pressure test, high potential test, hipot test, or insulation test) is an electrical safety test performed on a component or product to determine the effectiveness of its insulation. The test may be between mutually insulated sections of a part, or energized parts and ground.

5. Primary polydipsia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_polydipsia

   This means that psychogenic polydipsia may lead to test results (e.g. in a water restriction test) consistent with diabetes insipidus or SIADH, leading to misdiagnosis. [14] Dry mouth is often a side effect of medications used in the treatment of some mental disorders, rather than being caused by the underlying condition. [15]

6. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

   Uses of pneumatic pressure switches include: Switch a household well water pump automatically when water is drawn from the pressure tank. Switching off an electrically driven gas compressor when a set pressure is achieved in the reservoir; Switching off a gas compressor, whenever there is no feed in the suction stage. in-cell charge control in ...

7. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

   Duct leakage test in the US. A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a pressure sensing device to measure the pressure created by the fan flow.

8. Blower door - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

   An alternative approach to the multi-point procedure is to only measure fan airflow and building pressure differential at a single test point, such as 50 Pa, and then use an assumed pressure exponent, n Building in the analysis and generation of blower door metrics. This method is preferred by some for two main reasons: (1) measuring and ...

9. Dry running protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_running_protection

   There are three different methods for detection of water shortage: Pressure switch on suction manifold or float switch/electrode relay in the supply tank: Dry-running protection with pressure/level switch. Measurement of inlet pressure in the suction manifold by means of an analogue pressure transmitter: Dry-running protection with pressure ...
